depends, what kind of trans is if, if its a 3speed then that's as far as it should go.
Have the engine and trans computers checked for trouble codes. The 4 speed will not shift when the computer detects a problem and sets a code.
On my 1990 Voyager, the transmission has a "safe," or "limp" mode. If something is wrong with the trans, it will not shift out of second gear. This is supposedly to allow you to drive to the repair shop at a reduced speed.
It measures the speed of the transmission input shaft. The transmission computer uses this info for shift timing.
It measures the speed of the output gear of the transmission. It is used for shift timing.
the speed sensor senses the speed and tells your transmission when to shift , it also controls your speedometer.
3 PLUS OVERDRIVE
Most common cause is a failed output speed sensor. It is on the front driver side of the transmission.
The four speed requires a shift adaptation, called quick learn, to be performed with a scan tool.
I assume you have an electronic controled transmission. OBD II Code: P0755-----Shift Solenoid "B" Malfunction. Jim
If it still has a reverse, just in the wrong place, then the linkage or cable from the shift lever to the transmission has streched or fallen out of alignment.
One cause why a Plymouth Voyager sputters is because the driver may be holding the gear shift button, unnecessary for going through drives 1 to 4. The gear shift button is a safety feature that keeps from reversing while driving.
For a 1998 Plymouth Voyager that won't go into gear, the problem may be the shifter or the shifter cable. A problem with the linkage can cause it to not shift into gear. Also, check the transmission fluid to see if it's low. Even if it isn't low, you may need to change the transmission fluid and filter.
